Kawahara Satake stared at Li Xiaole for a long time with bloodshot eyes, like a cockfight, and after making sure that he had not been deceived, he sighed, shook his head, and turned his back with Genji Kojima, and all the Japanese staff also turned their backs...... I can't bear to watch the scene anymore.

And Jiang Wen, Wei Desheng, Zhao Fei, and Lan Xin looked at Li Xiaole in unison, and respected him more and more in their hearts, not only because he showed control over the crew during the filming, but also because he was too sensitive to maintain a calm in this sensitive subject, neither falling into pure national hatred, nor over-beautifying the essence of war in order to cater to the market, he just stood from the perspective of a broad literary and artistic creator, hoping that people would learn from the pain of war......

Lan Xin quietly walked over and patted Li Xiaole's shoulder, squinted her beautiful eyes and whispered: "That's good, Director Li~ But why do I still have the desire to kick these little Japanese butts in my heart now?" ”

"Actually, so am I." Li Xiaole squinted his eyes with the same expression, although as a director, he said so, but he Li Xiaole is not a saint after all, he is not mature to the extent that he really has no temper, and he is still a little unhappy in his heart, thinking about that period of national enemies, he really can't wait to go up and kick the ass of a few Japanese to dissipate his anger......

"Next time you film, add a few Saydek lines to him that won't be cut." Lan Xin pouted and whispered, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

"How can that work?" Li Xiaole shook his head again and again, and just when Lan Xin's face was full of disappointment, he suddenly showed a wicked smile and said, "How are a few enough, at least a few paragraphs~"

Director Lee...... You're not a nice person. Lan Xin suddenly laughed out loud when she heard this, and at this time, several Japanese staff members turned their heads to look at her with sad and angry faces, Lan Xin hurriedly pretended to be grief-stricken, and almost laughed at everyone present.

For four days, this thrilling scene made everyone's scalp tingle...... Let's take a look at the data, in order to shoot this scene, the props team designed 2,652 costumes, 2,156 pieces were damaged, 1,600 blood bags were used up, 216 props machetes were damaged because the actors used too much force, and the actors who played the Saidek clan ran 678 pairs of handmade CG skin color cloth shoes.

This can make Lin Tiangui, who manages finances, tremble for a while, and this scene alone cost nearly 60 million Taiwan dollars...... This is still his frugality, all kinds of slamming the door to barely maintain, people outside are watching a large piece of money like flowing water, that is magnificent, but I don't know, the bigger the blockbuster, the more strict the details must be, but Lin Tiangui, who is in charge of the account, is worried to death......

In fact, to be honest, Lin Tiangui is a person from the Information Bureau, and he has long been aware of the kickbacks for film grants in the Taiwanese film industry, and the original words that Director Lin gave him were: "You must know in your heart that this movie will definitely not be able to recover its costs, so there are some things you have to be smart, although Li Xiaole is a mainland director, but you must follow the rules and save 20 million Taiwan dollars in support to give him a kickback, so that it seems fair."

Otherwise, Wang Qun and they make money from those art films, and let a director like Li Xiaole, who makes commercial films lose money and make money, can't say anything, right? You have to save this money to subsidize him, and the accounts must be clear......"

When Lin Tiangui heard this, he didn't think it was too difficult, think about Wang Qun, they can cut off 2 million for 8 million movies, which accounts for one-fourth of the total cost~ Now "Saidek Balai" is a production of 600 million, and 20 million is only one-30th of the total cost, how can this be cut down.

But the facts are completely different from what I imagined, Lin Tiangui followed Li Xiaole for a few months, and was dumbfounded, this crew is completely different from other crews in Taiwan, every account is extremely fine, what money is spent where, how much emergency funds, the little girl named Lei Ting has formulated exactly the score.

Lin Tiangui now feels that let alone picking 20 million, even if he picks 20,000, he is enough to choke...... If it weren't for Li Xiaole's ingenuity in the filming to reduce the cost of shooting, the 600 million yuan of this movie was really not enough, and the budget was really the same as the outside world, and he went directly to 1 billion.

Originally, Lin Tiangui had been picking out some costs in these big scenes, but after the filming of Ma Hepo's scene, his heart was half cold, the 20 million is absolutely no play, but he also understood one thing during the shooting, this little director in the mainland is completely different from all the Taiwanese directors he has seen, this little director seems to have inexhaustible energy all over his body, he is wholeheartedly immersed in the movie, enjoys it, and never worries about the pressure of the box office.

His kind of focus and dedication not only infected the actors in the crew, but also moved Lin Tiangui, and he used one sentence to comment on Li Xiaole in his briefing to Director Lin:

"All Taiwanese directors have come to Li Xiaole's filming site to see, as long as they can learn from Li Xiaole's skin, Taiwan's film market can fully recover within three years."

But the problem is that no matter how much he personally admires Li Xiaole, but the Information Bureau only looks at the actual data, after Li Xiaole announced that "Sedek Balai" will be released on July 15, Taiwan's major theaters really have no reaction to this movie, they contacted Taiwan's four major theaters, Warner Vision, Marvel, Mira, Xinguang, but the result is quite desperate.

Of the 139 theaters, only 23 are willing to give "Sydek Balai" a ...... The theater chain said that the other positions should be reserved for a few Hollywood movies in the summer file......

The reality is that no matter how much money Taiwanese movies cost, in the eyes of the theater side, they cannot be compared with Hollywood...... What's more, this movie does not have the help of Chinese movie stars like Chen Long and Zhou Xingxing......

In fact, Taiwan's cinema chain is controlled by Hollywood...... The U.S. distributor is extremely strong, and American films accounted for 97% of the Taiwanese film market at its peak......

There were even two Hollywood distributors with deep pockets that had a monopoly operation in Taiwan for a period of time, and large cinema chains such as the Warner Way Show were not allowed to hang posters of other Chinese-language films when Hollywood blockbusters were released, otherwise Hollywood distributors would threaten not to produce films...... This is also one of the reasons why Taiwanese films have been sluggish in recent years.

Weishenme Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" can get a box office of over 100 million in Taiwan? It's because the investor behind him is a Colombian company......

What will be the fate of "Sydek Balai"? Lin Tiangui didn't have any bottom in his heart.

A week after filming the battle at the public school, Li Xiaole edited some clips of the scene as quickly as possible, then sorted it out with music, uploaded it to Black Pearl's official website, and posted the address on his Weibo.

And for hungry fans, this clip can be regarded as a solution to the cravings, take a look at the movies released now, what "The Invincible Boy Huo Yuanjia", "Jingwu Family", "Hancheng Raiders", "Lover's Knot", ...... What kind of garbage films, compared to the previous excitement of "Let the Bullets Fly" vs. "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu", these three months are simply boring for fans, and they are all looking forward to Li Crazy's new work making a fuss in the theater.

And for this film, there is another group of concerns, that is, the New Wave director is also a film critic, and they are all thinking of ways to criticize Li Xiaole, a mad director, from various angles.

At 8 o'clock on Friday night, in the editorial office of Taipei United Daily News, editor-in-chief Liu Chengjun was holding his fat face in one hand, frowning and smoking a cigarette in the office, thinking about the topic of the next issue of United Daily News, while several small editors next to him were constantly searching the web page on the computer, working overtime to find out the article they would write tomorrow.

"Editor-in-chief, that Director Wang called again, saying that Li Xiaole's new film was spent, let's take a look and write an article to criticize it~" Editor Xiao Zhang came over and said to Liu Chengjun with a crying face.

"Why doesn't he stop...... What a big thing to keep an eye on. Liu Chengjun frowned and said speechlessly.

"Editor-in-chief, don't we care about him?" Xiao Zhang looked up and asked expectantly.

"Alas......" Liu Chengjun took a deep breath of cigarette, slowly spit it out, and shook his head after thinking about it: "Xiao Zhang, you can write for him, after all, we are our old partners, and we have to rely on his movie reviews to support the entertainment version in the summer......"

Xiao Zhang was silent, just nodded depressedly, and his mouth was still muttering back to his seat. Turn on the computer: "A movie made by a small mainland director, is it impossible for Wang Qun to be such a big art film leader as he is placed in a position to get along with him...... It's fucking well-fed. ”

He hung his head, listlessly clicked on Li Xiaole's Weibo, then clicked on the link to enter the address of the official website of Black Pearl, looked at the video buffer, took out a box of Oreo cookies from the drawer, bit it with his mouth, and then ripped open the plastic bag with one hand, pulled a piece into his mouth, and waited boredly for the buffer to end.

This fucking working time...... Every day at this point, I will be hungry, it's really not a human job, Xiao Zhang chewed Oreo and complained, at this time the video on the screen was finally buffered, the first picture was a bright machete "brush" to cut through a thick fog, the knife flashed, blood splashed, and a head rose with the knife......

"Poof~!!" Xiao Zhang, who was eating cookies, saw this bloody picture, and couldn't stand the stimulation and sprayed the black and white biscuit powder directly on the computer screen, and even the hair of the colleague opposite was stained with Oreo's crumbs, and the short-haired beauty with eyes on the opposite side couldn't help but shout: "Xiao Zhang~ Why are you so disgusting~~~"

But Xiao Zhang was opening his mouth at this time, his eyes were motionless looking at the movie screen, looking at the faces with turbans and angry eyes like fire, which appeared in the fog above, shuttling between the mountains and forests as fast as the wind, and as soon as the camera turned to the fog society, he heard the screams and screams of the mountains and tsunamis, and the group of tribal warriors with turbans rushed towards the Japanese police from all directions...... Kawahara Satake stared at Li Xiaole for a long time with bloodshot eyes, like a cockfight, and after making sure that he had not been deceived, he sighed, shook his head, and turned his back with Genji Kojima, and all the Japanese staff also turned their backs......
